Hidden Truths – A Purim Open Call
It all begins with an idea.
In 1944, Marc Chagall was grieving the loss of his wife, Bella. Overcome with sorrow, he stopped painting—until one day, he discovered an unfinished canvas in his studio. The image was surreal: an angel floating above a violinist, caught between worlds. Picking up his brush, as if guided by an unseen force, he continued. That moment reminded him why he painted—to capture dreams, emotions, and mysteries that words couldn’t express.
Art has always been a space where the impossible becomes possible. It invites us to see beyond the surface, much like Purim—a holiday of hidden truths, shifting identities, and unexpected turns of fate.
Call for Artists: Hidden Truths
This Purim, Art World for Israel invites artists to submit works exploring hidden identities—artworks that reveal, conceal, and transform.
We welcome interpretations of this theme in any medium. Pieces may take the form of a carnival mask, a crown, a ratchet, Haman’s ear (hamantashen), or another Purim-related symbol, and explore hidden truths through surreal or unexpected imagery.

Videos showing art in public spaces (murals, street art, performance art, etc.).
Creative interpretations of how art connects people, promotes unity, or supports cultural understanding.
The video will be muted to allow the focus to remain on the visual impact of the artwork, and it will be a key feature welcoming visitors to our website.
